I think I did?

Run outdoors?

Trail running..

Did the trail thing this morning... it was very cold but once I started running, I felt fine. The ground was pretty hard though. Also saw another runner (older guy, thin build, wearing a red GAP hoodie, sunglasses, no distinguishing facial features, maybe 5 8"?) on the trail. Had seem him on Breiel earlier running and noted him. Felt somewhat odd to see someone else running, and brought back memories of events at PSU many years ago, but all was well.

Running like a woman on a mission

Today I ran around the block, and I really do notice that my runs are improving in the sense that I feel more in control of my body and seem to run with greater power as well as speed. Yepee!

That said, my left calf muscle is still feeling the effects of the Monday night pull or whatever I did. It was terrible. It literally felt like my calf muscle MOVED on my leg. Thanks to the Hoff for setting that right.

Urban Active leg stuff

Went to Urban Active and did 1500 meters of rowing in 6:21, then 5 minutes on elliptical before:

• squats
• hack squat
• leg press
• seated calf raises
• plie squats (60, 10 reps; 70, 10 reps; 80, 10 reps)
  
• Romanian deadlifts

I should put the numbers down, but alas...

Ran around the block

and I lost a shirt... well, took it off, because it was so darn warm! Yepee! "Let It Rock"

The return to urban active

Did the elliptical, 2k in 8:38, and a bunch of weight stuff (bench, squat, hack squat, overhead press, decline fly, front and side lat raises, curls, romanian deadlifts, behind the head tricep stuff). I ROCK.

I FINALLY LIFTED

at a secret location!

I ran the block

and I'm starting to be a little concerned by how easy it is.

Hitting the trail hard and fast

Ran the trail today. Felt GREAT!

Not much doing

So I did the elliptical thing for 15 minutes, then did no weight on the incline and reg bench press 3 x each for 15 reps. I also did two sets of overhead presses of 15 reps each with 10lb dbs. Like I said above, not much doing.

My right hammy hurts though.

Trail running...

Just got back from running the trails. They're gorgeous right now, and the scent of dying leaves greeted me as soon as I started running. What seemed odd: the scent of PANCAKES. I was running along the fence line near the golf course, and I can only imagine that someone was cooking breakfast with their windows / screen door open. It's an absolutely fantastic day.

NEW 500m record

1:54.3

The old switcheroo!

Rowed 2000 meters (500 meters then 1 minute rest) and then 10 minutes on elliptical. Then I went home; almost seems like it was a waste to drive to UA today.

I did hit 1:58 for a 500 meter row. I think my first 500 I did at 2:30, then 1:58, then 2:20, then 2:07.

Early morning run soon forgotten

Did the get up, run around the block, and forget I did so by late afternoon. It was foggy, but it felt great. I think I'm getting the hang of this running thing!
